Allnigeriasoccer.com has been told that Spanish La Liga side Getafe CF are on the verge of confirming the capture of Nigeria international Oghenekaro Etebo.

The Stoke City-owned central midfielder landed in Madrid on Wednesday and he was accompanied on the trip to the Spanish capital by Ariyo Igbayilola (see photo), well known as one of the agents that brokered the deal taking Victor Osimhen to Wolfsburg in January 2017.

Subject to a traditional medical, Etebo is joining Getafe on loan for the remainder of the 2019-2020 season, with a purchase option inserted into the contract. 

The former Warri Wolves star has been out of favour at the Potters since recovering from a hamstring complaint, missing all the fourteen matches contested by the club in all competitions, though he was an unused substitute on two occasions.

Getafe's next competitive match comes up against Badalona in the Copa del Rey this Saturday and it remains to be seen if the Nigeria international will make his debut for the Azulones in that match.

Etebo could also feature in the Europa League as Getafe have qualified for the knockout rounds and face Ajax Amsterdam in the round of 32 next month.
